Absolutely right Rajesh sir , noted yesterday in the afternoon the sea breeze was totally (WSW) direction here in Vasai , thus bringing the much needed relief from the heat wave which was happening because of north easterly winds .

GSB - infact MAHA has consistently received above normal rains for last many years - 2012 (bit less). KAR, AP, TN are much worse with consequitive years in droughts. 2012 Marathwada (MAHA driest area) received normal rain - infact average rain of Marathwada is more than BANG rain.

Beauty of Mumbai is peak summers temperatures never cross 33-34deg only few days in March temp exceed. 2012 rains all Mumbai lakes were full.

Personally I see all active bloggers from MAHA (MUM) none from south?????
